Blizzcon soon-to-be megathread

I’ll be there as Maevina. I’m a 48 year old African American woman, so I should be pretty easy to spot :).

Lorini

If BlizzCon was in the same country, I’d go there, even if I had to go crawling, and pay any reasonable price, so I can get a murloc pet, just so I can repeatedly slaughter it with my own hands, or throw it at lvl 61 elite demons to torture it in the deepest boiling pits of the twisting nether.

Heh. Oh, to hear it’s death gurgle!

You get a Murloc t-shirt, or can buy one at Blizzcon. I think those will be a hot item on eBay since Blizzard said they will not be for sale elsewhere after the convention.

They are supposed to give all the details on the expansion, right? If so, I expect a full report here.

I’ve seen scans of a Jeff Green exclusive on the expansion online already.

New zones, new Blood Elves.

Level cap raised to 70, new level 70 flying mount.

New profession - jewelcrafting.

Not gonna link to the scans, sorry.

Does anyone know if Jeff’s story is an exclusive?

Welcome to a week ago :)

I’ve read the whole article and it adds nothing over what we already knew.

I thought the blood elf thing was a fake. Yea we know about new zones, heard a RUMOR about the level cap being raised to 70, and definitly heard there will be two new starting newbie zones.

But then what are the new races? What about hero classes? New talents?

Yeah HRose, same data, you mentioned rumors, I saw actual Jeff mag scans. If you want to be grand poobah of WoW scoops, I’ll stay the fuck out of Games. Thanks man.

he’s the king daddy of WoW pimps, ph33r

Actually, he saw the Italian gaming magazines, which came out before CGW’s issue. So he’s just saying, credit where credit is due. Perhaps rumors to you then, but for all intents and purposes, fact to him. It just took a week or so for us to catch up to that point.

Moving on…

The official website is up.

and here’s a link to a torrent of the .avi trailer so you don’t have to use the horrible blizzard downloader to get it: http://www.emulated.org/WoW/WOWEx_Blizcon.avi.torrent

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/[/quote]Dude I don’t mind him having the story, but I read his blog entry last week, and he claimed it was a rumor. I find evidence of it and think this is useful confirmation, and he says “welcome to last week”. Maybe I misunderstood this. Either way, no need to show off about it, we’re most of us just here for the information.

Anyone have a non-torrent mirror up yet? Guess I’ll just wait for fileplanet to throw it up there, as I know they’ll have it soon enough.


[EDIT:] Stroker Ace: sorry, wasn’t trying to flame you or anything, though it probably came off like that. Also poor reading comprehension on my part.

Link to the wowguru mirror of the trailer:

here too

So what’s the second new race besides the Blood Elves? No new classes?

Heh paging HRose:

My prediction or “wish” that Quel’thalas be the new starting zone of the blood elves is true. I just want to roll a BE character to take a look at that magical city.

I dont think they’ve decided on the new alliance race yet.

Could be a photoshop job…

I’m hoping for “Other Humans.”
